No, we don't, I'm not really sure why but for some reason archive.org is only deriving OGG files from this, no zips and no 64kb.

I think the reason is that the podcast files are added cumulatively instead of all at once like a catalog audiobook. Only the first file seems to be given the full conversion treatment at archive.org. I noticed this on a few Internet Archive projects I've done on my own. When I found that you could add files to your pages, I thought that would be a neat way to get going on something that could be shaped along the way rather than thoroughly planned from the get-go.

Whoever is in charge ? Cori is it? . We could ask for it to be moved from Community Audio to LibriVox and then it would (probably) derive - let me know and I'll ask them (there are Archive rules about the email address being the owner so they need to have requests match email)And no they aren't as contactable as us - but considering the number of "your download don't work" complaints we have , they would be totally swamped.

I am planning a podcast on the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, which Bob will be slotting in after the pioneer days/anniversary podcasts. Readers in previous Rubaiyat projects have already been approached for contributions, but anyone else who wishes to can also contribute.

Firstly, thank you very much. I am glad you are listening to and enjoying the podcasts. I wish we could tell how many people listen to individual podcasts, although the Internet Archive page for the 2012 podcasts tallies 11,280 downloads right now. I appreciate your posting your response here.

Has anyone thought about making podcasts intended for people who do not know librivox but are interested about knowing more without reading on the forums, wiki, etc.

An interesting question. The LibriVox Community Podcasts are intended for the entire LibriVox community, so theoretically, anyone familiar with LibriVox is invited to listen. Most topics that are addressed in the podcasts are usually introduced enough so even someone brand new to LV could follow. I should think that if people are really interested in LibriVox, they will very soon want to visit the forums, if not all the nooks and crannies spread across the site. This current Pioneer Days series is a little more specific and I suppose does require some working knowledge of LibriVox in order to be of interest, but in general, the topics are random and informative enough to appeal to any who care about LibriVox, free audiobooks, literature, and related subjects.

We are interested in whatever feedback – positive or constructively critical – anyone has about this fourth podcast of the series. You may also contribute statistics, comments, and promos to be added to the next and final one, featuring a conversation with Librivox founder Hugh McGuire.

An email message from Phil Williams of Voyager Records:Feel free to use any of the recordings in the Northwest Fiddle Field Recordings section. We claim no copyright on them. The concept here is to make available to the public some of the fiddling of the Pacific Northwest, and fiddlers that have come here. If you want to use any material from these, or other CDs we have out, for your projects, just let me know.

As usual I liked the installment, and I can especially relate to the bit about stumbling all over the piece. In my case it usually ends with me hitting "delete"- even on already fiished sections This is the reason why I usually breathe a great sigh of relief when I'm done reading and the only thing left to do is editing... Of course listening to all the stumbles involves a kind of facepalm moment sometimes, but at least I know there's a happy ending As to the wacky projects- there's also the one with reading out the first 100 digits of Pi. Doesn't that one actually take the cake? I mean, I've never listened to it, but just think about the idea Unless, of course, I got completely misled by the title

By the way, I guess it's already too late to propose an idea for the Pioneer series, plus the concept in question actually came a few years after the "pioneer days", but don't you think it would be great to mention Phil's videos? I suppose they made an impact, at least that's what I think when I read the feedback in Phil's thread.
